Tux Reports: Phoenix 0.5 At-A-Glance

"Quick ! What do you think when you hear 'Pescadero, Santa Cruz,
Lucia, Oceano, and Naples' ? OK, smarty pants. You are correct.

the Phoenix project.

"The milestone binaries for Phoenix 0.5 (code named Naples) were
released December 8, 2002. The browser is based on the

Microsoft Windows (95,98,ME,NT,2000,XP), OS/2, and Linux x86. An
unofficial build for Mac OS X 10.2 is available.

Galeon, Skipstone, K-meleon, and Chimera. Phoenix was written using
XUL or Extensible User-Interface Language. Phoenix is only the
